Tapgypsy, did the dealer say "this is a stick up". Its sounds like he was wearing burgelar mask.

Those numbers dont sound right all, you can definitley to better. I've been working with an internet fleet manager in Southern California and they are shopping around for me. I dont have all the specifics yet, but we discussed a car with a sticker around 42k and a my price would be around 40k. Quoted me a lease of 610 for 36 months and 570 for 48 months, both with about 1000 out the door.

Biceman,
How does it work when you deal with an "internet fleet manager"??

Not real sure to tell you truth, my wife had put in an inquiry through some website and I started to get emails from different dealerships. Not sure how it really works, they just said they would shop around and find me what I wanted even if it was at another dealership and get the car that I want sent to them.

Just about all dealerships have links to inventory in the area. A swap across town might not cost them much, but bringing in something from a couple hundred miles might cost someone a couple hundred (who pays that?).
I just spent 5 minutes on GM Buypower.com and looked at inventory at 5 GM dealers in Memphis. If I put in a couple of other zip codes, I could check the dealerships between Nashville, Little Rock, Jackson Mississippi and even St Louis...plus smaller dealerships in the area. Contact info is available there and if I found one I wanted, I could give them a call and start trying to work up a deal.
It sounds as if you really don't have a 'relationship' with a dealership or this website...whatever you feel confortable with. I have tried working with dealers in the past on locating one that was not in stock in Memphis, but never really had any luck or felt comfortable with the process.

Yes, fulano82, General Motors has a $500 conquest cash incentive on the 2007 GMC Acadia this month. What sort of help are you looking for. Let me know and I'll see what I can do for you.

Hi aroxas. Let me begin by saying that $4,000 is way too much money to put down on a lease. I always advise consumers against making capitalized cost reductions, aka down payments, when leasing. Consumers who make them risk losing them if their vehicle is totaled in an accident or stolen and never recovered. You can lease any vehicle that you want without making any cap cost reduction and it is in your best interest not to make one.
The selling price that you were quoted on the Acadia that you are interested in looks very attractive to me. Just make sure that the dealer that you are working with uses GMAC's base lease rate of 7.2% (for this model) to calculate your truck's monthly payment and you're in business.

Hi biceman22. No GMAC's base lease rate for the Acadia has not changed. It's still 7.2%. If I was in the market for this truck I definitely would make sure that the dealer I was working with used the 7.2% rate to calculate my monthly payment.

Hi fulano82. You never mentioned the selling price or MSRP of specific Acadia that you are interested in leasing. These are important numbers for you as a consumer to know for two reasons. First, the selling prices of leased vehicles can be negotiated, just as if you were paying cash for them. Without knowing this truck's selling price in relation to its MSRP you don't know how much of a discount you are getting on it. The second reason is that one needs the selling price and MSRP, including the destination charge, of a vehicle to calculate its lease payment. I would be more than happy to give you my opinion of this deal if you let me know what these numbers are.

Hi tapgypsy. This looks like a pretty good deal to me. Thanks for taking the time to share the derails of your lease with everyone. Enjoy your new truck  .
